WHEN …? … not long now

Okay Suburban Soldiers the new album is not far away. David Briggs and Martin Cilia have been tweaking the recorded tracks in readiness for mastering. Don’t forget I’m previewing the songs Oct 29 Charles Hotel Perth and hope to see many of you there. Meanwhile I am still thrilled to find you guys out there sending in your hard-earned to either get a credit on the CD or support me by pre-ordering product. Patrick Gaul, a long time Sydney fan jumped in along with Stephen Smykowsky, Pete Horbury, Steve Crowley, Paul Walsh, The Big D – Dave Ellery who has supported my career from Pus days in 1974, Chris Smith up there in Qld and more. Every dollar is appreciated and gives me a chance to shoot a little clip or add some artwork. Today’s song is another new one, We Want A Kid. It is very self explanatory: a look at the tendency to treat children as an accessory that anybody with enough money has a right to. It is not a shot at those people desperate to have children to love and cherish, it is about those who think parenting is about throwing money at a kid, those for whom a kid is just the next step after the 4 wheel drive and Umbria for six weeks. Greg Macainsh tells me it’s his fave on the album and it rocks!
